Free Float tube without any holes, will I have to drill a hole to mount a swivel?

Israeli Pattern would work just fine with no drilling.

You'd need the Handguard band, Paracord for the buttstock, and the Patrol sling and you'd be good to go.

Rear: rear end plate mount from Noveske on the lower
Front/Top: drill a hole in the handguard and install one of those DYI flush cup adapters.
Sling: Viking Tactics 2-point sling w/ QD swivel mounts.

If the gas block has rail on bottom just add a rail mount sling swivel

No rail on bottom of block.

There are a couple of different companies that offer sling points that locate with a single hole in the hand guard. You can add these to some butt stocks or use a end plate at the RE. Google is your friend for this.

On the 16" (my 3 gun rifle) with the sling, I wrapped para cord around the vented handguard between the vents, and in front of the vents. I wrapped over the short end of a Mamba sling, and now I have a 2 point without drilling the handguard (already has a stud for a bi-pod) or attaching to the barrel. The 20" HB is not vented, and since this pic I wrapped the forend with para cord. I have a temporary sling attached to the front gas block for now, but will remove it before shooting. I don't want to defeat the purpose for free floating the barrels in the first place.

Drill and tap the free float tube and put a sling swivel stud on the tube. Why install a free float tube to keep the barrel free from any external influences then attach a sling to the barrel to put tension on it that will not be consistent from shot to shot?
